All Wild Things: Poems

In All Wild Things, Spencer Sheehan-Kalina gathers a lifetime of attention, longing, and quiet rebellion into a single, living collection. This debut flagship volume is not a fixed monument, but a beginning—an evolving body of work rooted in the belief that poetry, like the self, is never finished.

Drawing from the wild edges of love, queerness, land, and becoming, these poems move between intimacy and expanse—where moss overtakes memory, where bodies are both sanctuary and question, where leaving and returning blur into one continuous act of transformation. Each piece feels at once deeply personal and insistently open, inviting the reader into a shared act of noticing.

Inspired by a tradition of continual revision and reimagining, All Wild Things is envisioned as the first edition of a work that will grow and shift over time. What you hold in your hands is not only a collection, but a seed—an origin point for future versions that will reshape, expand, and deepen this poetic landscape.

Tender, defiant, and unafraid to wander, All Wild Things marks the arrival of a voice committed to both vulnerability and evolution. This is poetry that refuses to stay still.
